Dynamic Manual 3

To Work With any of our displays, first it is Necessary to connect to our device, so we go to the "communications"

section of the top menu.

3.1 Connection type

To begin With, We Have to select the type of connection we are going to use to connect to our screens. There are

three types of connection:

USB RS232 / RS485 Ethernet

To connect via Ethernet we must enter the IP address of our device.

The default IP address is 192.168.1.100 and the TCP port 53.

If We Have More Than One LED Display we can select a range of IP in Which to search the devices.

3.2 Searching device

Once communication parameters correctly selected Have Been, We Have to press the "Search" button. It appears it

by searching one device (or more) into the list below. Then add the device found to our devices list pressing "Add to

devices File" while if we want to replace, pressing "Replace device files". The list of devices is stored in a file on our

PC.

Important:On Error in communication, we can select communication mode or Slow Increase

values in advanced settings: such as detailed below:

Display Timeout response and displays Search Timeout: + 1.00.

TCP Socket Timeout and TCP Socket Delay: + 0.05.

On USB communication check the USB driver are installed well. USB drivers can be download from our web page.

On serial communication, Baud, Data Bits, Parity and Stop Bits are by default 9600, 8, N and 1 respectively.

4. EDITION

These are the different parts That Make up the Dynamic 3 Editing program.
